Optimization of asymmetric figure-8 undulator as circularly polarized light source

In the soft x-ray region, the demand for helicity switching of circularly polarized undulator radiation is increasing to study circular dichroism. The asymmetric figure-8 undulator is an insertion device to provide circularly polarized radiation (CPR) and a simple method of helicity switching which...
